AKRON, Ohio -- A heated exchange Thursday between an Akron barbershop owner and a man who has been carrying a rifle around town for several days was caught on camera.

The video has since been taken down.

"DEONE SLATER" THE OWNER OF "KANGAROO KUTZ" WOULD NOT LET THIS WHITE MAN WALK BY WITH LOADED GUNS... THE WHITE MAN CALLED THE POLICE ON ME... WATCH AS THEY ASSIST THIS KILLER OF "US"!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH PEOPLE!!!! STAND UP!!! I AM!!!!

The shop owner, Deone Slater, confronted 25-year-old Daniel Kovacevic, who has been walking around busy streets near the University of Akron with a rifle strapped across his back.

Slater told cleveland.com that he did not want Kovacevic walking in front of his barbershop, since Kovacevic is a "threat" to his community.

Kovacevic called Akron police following the confrontation. Police arrived, while Slater continued to yell profanities at Kovacevic. Police diffused the situation. However, Slater said he was confused as to why police were mainly trying to calm him instead of focusing on Kovacevic.

"They (police) asked me why do I have a problem," Slater said. "He's a threat to me and my people. He's a threat to me."

Akron Lt. Rick Edwards said the officers' reactions are not racially biased. However, Edwards did say that Kovacevic has been spotted in predominantly black neighborhoods since he began trekking the town Monday.
